Keep your body strong, flexible, and at home in your own movement. Using a chair as your steady, supportive ally, you’ll flow through gentle yet effective yoga postures that enhance joint mobility, circulation, and ease—helping you maintain the strength and flexibility you already have.
You’ll explore standing, seated, and supported poses with confidence, balance, and control, while practicing self-myofascial release and simple self-massage techniques to soften tension, hydrate tissues, and care for your connective tissue.
Through focused diaphragmatic breathing, you’ll support your joints, posture, nervous system, and overall vitality. This empowering practice prioritizes resilience, longevity, and smart movement—you move well, you move wisely. All bodies welcome. No prior yoga experience required.

Robin Shepard
Academy of Mindful Movement certified, Level 1
Robin enjoys teaching both the young and the young-at-heart. As a life-long learner, she is fascinated by recent scientific discoveries around fascia and functional movement and their implications for the practice of yoga. This curiosity has fueled exploration and experimentation to create a style of movement that is playful and dynamic, with practical benefit for everyone from absolute beginners to more advanced practitioners.
Robin constantly looks for ways to deliver a more personal experience, with respectful irreverence and fun. Whether on the yoga mat or in the aerial hammock, she links functional movement skills, breath mechanics, and novel approaches to traditional poses to increase somatic awareness, mobility, and build an organic mind/body connection.
As a long time practitioner, Robin has personally experienced the difference that regularly practicing yoga can make in a person’s life. She sees yoga as a doorway, progressing from movement into meditation, awareness, understanding, and finally acceptance of ourselves and others. She considers yoga a powerful and essential practice to help navigate our modern world.
Originally a native of the Pacific Northwest, often visiting our islands, Robin spent 13 years traveling, raising her family, and acquiring knowledge and skills in Guangzhou and Shanghai, China, as well as Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam. Having purchased a home here in 2014, Robin is delighted to call Honolulu home.
She completed her foundational yoga teacher trainings with Suzanne Vian of Yoga Vietnam and her 300 hour Yoga Teacher Training in the FluidUs Method with Carlos Tao. She has taught yoga for years, assisting with Yoga Teacher Trainings. Additionally, Robin is an experienced, registered Children’s Yoga Teacher and a Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider, with training in Pre-Natal and Post-Natal yoga.
Since arriving in Honolulu in 2020, Robin has been captivated by the modality of aerial yoga and has completed her teacher training with Carmen Curtis, founder of AIReal Yoga, in AIReal Yoga, AIReal Restore, and Aerial Hammock Dance.
